    The insurance cost should be allocated to the products made in January and to those made in February is $8,000 and $7,000 respectively.

    Explanation:

    For computing the allocated insurance cost, first, we have to compute the per labor rate which is shown below:

    Per labor rate = (Annual premium) : (Labor hours)

    = ($120,000) : (48,000 hours)

    = $2.5

    Now the insurance cost would be

    For January = Labor rate per hour * number of labor hours/

    = 3,200 hours * $2.5

    = $8,000

    For February = Labor rate per hour * number of labor hours

    = 2,800 hours * $2.5

    = $7,000
